“…One of the biggest problems is the lack of skills and confidence to participate [42]. Scholars have proposed a "play-based approach" to participation, whereby children learn about and complete tasks playfully [99][100][101]. However, with the development of smart cities, there will be new challenges to how children can better participate in urban planning [47]…”

This study performs a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of research on child-friendly cities (CFC) conducted from 2000 to 2022. It investigates the global and domestic research trends using two prominent databases, Web of Science (WOS) and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI). The study reveals increasing global and domestic research publications on CFC, demonstrating an expanding interest in the area. The contributions of this study are threefold. First, it describes the status of the CFC in two databases based on quantitative analysis and an intuitive visualization, identifying patterns, hotspots, trends, and gaps. Second, by comparing the two databases, we have the following four findings: (1) the advancement of CFC construction and research focus is linked to economic development; (2) collaborative efforts involving multiple parties are crucial for policy implementation and engaging children in decision making; (3) the two databases demonstrate differing research emphases on the environment; (4) it is essential to broaden the channels for child participation. Finally, we propose the PAF dynamic conceptual model call for the sustainable development of CFCs.

“…The implementation of the game environment in Minecraft involved a framework of techniques and technologies based on GIS technologies to represent, visualize, explore, design, evaluate and negotiate scenarios based on heritage values. With Minecraft's new features, it is possible to program and code entire territories [46,47]. Some of the geo-information processes accessible for modeling a real-world context in Minecraft used to create the landscapes for this research were [13]:…”

“…Both experiments supported the development of new skills by challenging children to explore and be aware of the rural fabric in their town concerning the architectural ensemble [47], rural design [9], and cultural landscape [42]. The experiments raised awareness through specific tasks, such as building new architecture, agricultural farms and changing rural morphology.…”

The purpose of this paper is to explore the potential of Minecraft’s game environment for urban planning with older and younger children in a public school in Tirol town, Brazil. Minecraft is employed as an innovative tool to tackle the present lack of engagement and involvement of key societal actors such as children and young people in urban planning. Thus, how can games support children to co-design their future city? Which heritage values do they represent graphically in the game environment? Geogames are games that provide a visualization of a real spatial context and in this study, Minecraft is the tool which we use to explore youth engagement. We designed two experiments, which tested Minecraft as a geogame environment for engaging young people in urban planning. These experiments were conducted with children, who emerged as active emancipated actors to bring their values to the planning practice. The playtesting results revealed the potential of Minecraft to keep children engaged in the design workshop, as well as their relevant ludic ability to co-create walkable, green, and interactive places. New research questions arose about the potential of creating a culture of planning among children in order to motivate other social actors to share responsibilities for sustainable development and management.

“…Minecraft has become a significant part of the virtual experience and culture for many children, offering children a game world, where players build and construct. It has successfully been used for teaching (Tromba 2013), to improve neighbourhoods (Andrade, Sena, and Moura 2016) and to interpret art (Styles 2016) and has been shown to be a successful medium for engaging and co-designing with young people (Walsh, Donahue, and Pease 2016).…”

Virtualizing the real: a virtual reality contemporary sculpture park for children

This paper discusses a virtual reality experience for a contemporary sculpture park, Jupiter Artland, developed in Minecraft targeting 9-11-year-old children. Issues of fidelity, realism and authenticity are considered, examining the use of Minecraft to create visual representations loosely coupled with reality that generate affective responses. We discuss the build of our virtual sculpture park outlining our approach to creating a facsimile of the sculpture park through adopting practices from the Minecraft community and refining and improving the artworks and experience informed by a class of 9-10 year old children. Using the real and virtual sculpture parks we explore the impact of engaging with the real before the virtual Jupiter Artland and vice versa, with the results from a three class study outlined in this paper.
